West Orange Fraxel Laser Doctors and Reviews

“I Had a Fraxel Laser Treatment and...”

After years of too much sun, I decided to visit Dr. Anolik. I was bothered by my skin's dullness and lines. We talked over lots of options and I decided on the Fraxel Dual laser. As expected, I had a few days of looking pink and flaky but I didn't have any pain. Pretty amazing improvement. I plan on doing a few of these to maximize the improvements. more

“Fraxel 5 Years Younger - Manhattan, NY”

Ok...I had some hyperpigmentation from my teenage years of too much sun. By the way, I just turned 30 :(. This was my second time doing fraxel and here's how it went....I arrived an hour and a half before the procedure. They put some numbing cream on and left it on for about an hour and 15 minutes. Then....go time. Let me be honest....this is NOT a pain free procedure. Any doctor who tells you... more

“Best Thing I Ever Did! - Manhattan, NY”

I initially had gone on quite a few consults for fraxel treatment but when I met Dr. Cameron Rokhsar something told me that he was the right person for the job. He gave me realistic expectations and was extremely thorough with all information about the procedure. He seemed to be exactly what he is, AN EXPERT! Well I was right and my results exceeded my expectations. My skin looks Amazing!!!!... more

“Downplays Risks and Overestimates...”

Had hypopigmentation on my chest, caved to the clinic's marketing bs. 3 years ago I came to Dr. Polis for a consultation for the skin on my chest which had small areas of hypopigmentation.  She said the only treatment for it was fraxel and then left me there to watch a video put out by the company on how great it works on melasma (a term I had never heard before, nor ever... more

“Professional, Meticulous Care - New...”

Pros: I can see a real difference and my skin continues to improve Cons: redness and swelling after Fraxel I have had cystic acne since I was a teen (I'm 30), and I have scarring all over my face. During the consultation, Dr. Shelton answered all of my questions and explained the pros and cons of each treatment available (he spent about 45 minutes with me). My first treatment... more

“Amazing Dermatologist - Love my...”

I had the Fraxel treatment to treat my wrinkles and dullness I see in my skin. My skin looks so much better. It's worth the few days of pink I experienced after the treatments! Dr. A's Fraxel laser definitely helped my skin. It feels fresher and my scars are so much better. more

“Fraxel Works on Acne Scars - New...”

I suffered from these scars and was looking for a way to get rid of them once and for all. I'm very happy with how Fraxel was able to reduce and even remove my acne scars. I had them for years on my forehead and around the temples. Unlike other things I tried, Fraxel actually works.  more

“Fraxel Treatments Smoothed out my Scar”

I had a series of 5 fraxel treatments and my last one was on aug. 14, 2009, about 3 and a half weeks ago. My skin is still bronzed in the area that was treated.I am very happy with the way that the treatments smoothed out the scar. It has blended in and is much less noticable. However, I am still concerned about the bronzing that has not subsided from the treated area. I will not know if I it... more

“Fraxel Restore for African American...”

Pros: soften acne icepick (scars were not deep)and boxcar scarring , minimize pore size, very little down time, little pain Cons: Swelling, expensive (but so worth it) Why: acne scarring discoloration I am a dark skinned African American woman with acne scarring. This is my first fraxel resto more

“I've Had Four Fraxels in the Past...”

I have some residual cystic acne scarring from my teen years. 6 years of IPL (Photorejuvenation) sessions took my skin about 60% to where I want to be - but I still have a ways to go. So, my derm suggested Fraxel. Why she chose this for me over V-Beam, Cool Touch, CO2, Pixel, and many others available, I'm not sure - but since I love and trust my derm so much, I decided to take the plunge... more

“Not Worth It - NY, NY”

Not sure about the pros, but the con is that it didn't do anything it claimed and I believe did more harm than good. Did not improve my acne scars, did not create collagen. I had it done on my neck also and all it did was create a very obvious line of demarcation where the sun tanned it permanently, and I was using 45 spf on it. So now I have a sharp line separating my face from my... more

“Great Procedure”

This is one of the greatest laser out there that takes care of a lot of problems. It gets rid of ACNE scars, smooths wrinkles and gets rid of pigmentations on the face. The only downside abt it is that I had to take 1 weeks off from work and stay home, because it forms scabs on my entire face, which fell off in 5-7 days. Redness occurred after all the scabs fell off, and it faded away in... more

“Ingrown Eyebrow Hairs”

I have had serious ingrown eyebrow hairs for about 5 years now.  I have had dermabrasion, laser hair removal, redness laser and a huge number of coritzone shots and nothing works to solve the problem or resolve the scars. I had my first Fraxel laser treatment almost 2 weeks ago and I cannot tell if it is going to work or not.  Immediately afterward, the scars looked better. ... more

“Horrible Experience - Left with Burn...”

Had Fraxel done on my arms 1 week ago to treat stretch marks. The procedure was done by a doctor so I assumed I was in good hands. Wrong! Even though I had the numbing cream on for more than an hour, the pain was horrible and my pain threshold is pretty high. It felt like someone was running a hot poker with needles into my skin. Afterward I felt mild pain and had swelling but after 2... more

“Should I Go for the 4th Treatment?”

I've had three Fraxel treatments, and I'm contemplating if I should go for the fourth. It's $1300 for the entire face and $600 for the cheeks. Most of the deep scarring is in my cheeks. I've had a subtle improvement. I thought as deep as my doctor went, I would have seen a better improvment. I don't even see an improvment in my pore size. My first treatment was in Dec and it's now Feb and... more

“Nice Improvement!!!”

I'm 24 years old and I have been suffering from Acne since I was 17. I have taken all types of acne medication including Accutane twice which helped me a lot with this problem. I recommend people who have been suffering of major acne problems for many years to try Accutane. Eventhough, this medication have a lot of side effects it's really the only medication that can... more
